Clarkesville’s not wasting any time getting ready for Christmas. Last week, the town dressed up with wreaths and lights in preparation for the holiday.
To some passersby, it seemed a bit premature. “What happened to Thanksgiving,” one person asked as Now Habersham stopped to take pictures. Still, it’s likely the early jump to the biggest shopping season of the year will help get people into the spirit of things.
So will the town’s big upcoming holiday celebration.
A Downtown Clarkesville Christmas is scheduled from 5-7:30 p.m. on Friday, December 3. In addition to the annual Christmas tree lighting, there will be photos with Santa, live music, a fire pit for roasting marshmallows, hot cocoa, and Clarkesville’s very first cookie crawl. Buy a box, visit the participating merchants and go home with yummy treats!
Baldwin is scheduled to hold its Christmas tree lighting on December 3, as well.
Cornelia will host its big holiday celebration the following day, beginning at 6 p.m. on December 4.
Christmas in Downtown Cornelia will feature hayrides through the city park, s’mores and hot cocoa, photos with Santa, live entertainment, a holiday market, and cookie decorating.
The annual Habersham County Christmas Parade will be held at 6:30 p.m. in Cornelia on December 7.
